Abstract [en]

Many schools today profiles and specializes. Some have athletic profile and other economic. This trend seems to be stable in Sweden. These trends and profiles are often seen on the schools websites and logos but so far it has not influenced the buildings in which the school houses. Therefore my project is a school where the profile is clearly visible in the buildings.

I’ve chosen to let the school have a historical profile, a strong focus on history education. The idea is that the school should be designed as a timeline where students chronologically wander through history. During the wander they are accompanied by the school buildings of different ages and environments. This will give each student a personal historical wander for ten years. This fits, in my opinion, very good when children between six and fifteen years are likely to feel the connection these environments. The school's regular education proceeding according to curriculum but history lessons are located along the school's various timeline environments.

When a student begins preschool classes at the school they step into an ancient village. An environment capsized by Viking and huts. I find it hard to believe that children wouldn’t appreciate such an environment. Nevertheless, scale and materials follow the children. The village consists of wooden houses and such materials that kids can easily understand and relate to. Yet it should not be a problem if you want to grill or listen to stories around a campfire. In this way the pedagogy and school activities work in harmony with the premises.

A student who starts middle school arrives the school building like Gustav Wasa into a castle to conquer his knowledge. Here, the classes are following in tower rooms and halls lined with white dyed walls. Here the focus is on peace and order, safety and focus. It leaves room for discussion and room for creativity.. When students from other schools asking how it's going to school in Trollbäcken often follows the proud reply that it is just fine. Obviously, it is nice to study in a castle. Almost like a palace.

As students continue their journey, leaving the medieval castle, there days and years take place in a palace. The palace is a building that clearly stands for enlightenment. It was once said that the one who doesn’t let the schoolhouse to be the village's most beautiful houses have betrayed our future. This way you proudly show the future students' path to enlightenment. This palace of knowledge is filled with halls, workshops, studios and libraries in an environment that celebrates knowledge. Here the students meet an environment that will encourage the path of knowledge. A school building that will provide space for discussions and studies yet teenage romances and the opportunity to flaunt their newly acquired moped driver’s license.

The school of all time in Trollbäcken is a school to be proud of. A school that can serve as a typical example and a role model throughout all of Sweden. The vision is that students and teachers can go to a school that they’re proud of and take good care of. Such good care of that the building will remain for generations and so obtain its own place in history.
